The Managing Director (MD) of the Ghana GOLDBOD, Mr. Sammy Gyamfi, has reacted to a viral video which captures him gifting Evangelist Patricia Koranteng, also known as Nana Agradaa.
The video which emerged on social media on May 10, 2025 showing the NDC National Communications Officer handing over dollars to Nana Agradaa at an event has sparked agitations among members of his party– the NDC.
In a public statement, Mr Gyamfi apologised for the act, stressing that his gesture was an act of kindness which he thought was private.
He said, “this was simply a kind gesture to a fellow human being, in line with my daily and life-long custom of lending a helping hand to people in need.”
“I sincerely thought that I was doing this act of kindness in private, and never imagined that same could find its way into the public space. That is unfortunate and regrettable,” Gyamfi stated and apologised to Ghanaians, especially his party supporters.
Below is the statement he posted on Facebook.
Folks, I have taken notice of the wave of criticisms against my person in the last 24 hours.
To clarify, this was simply a kind gesture to a fellow human being, in line with my daily and life-long custom of lending a helping hand to people in need.
I sincerely thought that I was doing this act of kindness in private, and never imagined that same could find its way into the public space. That is unfortunate and regrettable.
I must say that, I understand the uproar that this gesture has generated, particularly from comrades who are sincerely hurt by same. To all such comrades, I AM SINCERELY SORRY for this unfortunate act of indiscretion. I respect and appreciate your views.
My profound appreciation goes to all those who have reached out to counsel and encourage me. I’m most grateful for your solidarity.
Let me state however, that my view of public office as a privilege to serve society, solve problems and help others, has not changed.
I remain focused on the task entrusted to me by His Excellency, the President for the development of our country.
Stay blessed and have a blissful Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out here.
